STORMDOWN®

Keeps Down Dry In Wet Weather

Down is nature's best insulator, but until now dampness rendered it ineffective. Our StormDown™ treats each down cluster with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to prevent internal moisture accumulation and preserve down's structural integrity, lightweight warmth, and exceptional breathability.

This new weather resistant type down jacket is both warm and light, but does have certain limitations. The zipper is ridiculously small for a jacket you will obviously often be using with gloves on. It does have decent pockets, especially an Eddie Bauer outside breast pocket finally big enough to be able to actually fit a phone or glasses! The weatherproofing works best in snow and drizzle, but you will still need a shell in a real rain. Also, it is a bit too thin for the bitter temps we had most of the winter this year in the North East. It does pack down well and is best as a layering piece when hiking or climbing. Overall, I would indeed recommend this product to a friend!

Purchased the micro therm hooded jacket this February and am overall satisfied. I bought a medium tall and am 6'0. Fits very close to the body and is warm while moving about and sheds snow and rain quite well. I live in Vail, CO and find that it is not the best for extremely cold days, anything below 20 degrees, without heavier layering beneath it. I also found that the jacket is not the best option for cold weather days where I am not as active, such as outdoor concerts or spectsting. The material itself isn't that thick so doesn't hold in the heat like heavier jackets I have had in the past. However, once you get moveing around the jacket is as warm as can be.

I do believe it will be great for camping this summer and leisure days in the fall. Just won't be a primary jacket for the winter unless it's for activities where I am moving around a lot.

I was hoping this would be my best jacket, but turns out that it's too big for me. I'm 5'6" 130lb, and the MicroTherm StormDown vest fits me perfectly and I love that vest because of the warmth and packability, so I thought I should get the hooded jacket as well. I was disappointed and had to return it. I later got the BC MicroTherm jacket instead and that fits me better than this one.

I have a previous version of this jacket, and it has twice the down fill...-?!?What gives!?...MORE DOWN EB...Some of the cells are empty in places...-?? I probably have warmer cotton hoodies...-?? I guess I can use it as a 'base layer' under another jacket...-??

My first one of these is grey w/ yellow inside. -but got the 2XL and its HUGE, especially around the waist.No need for 'Tall' on this one.Got the Black/Grey this time (Grey/Gold is better looking...but mines too big)Wish more colors were available...-with more down...Ugh~
